They do it because people get pissed when you completely close a road for a week straight. Also tends to raise prices if you close small sections at a time. People prefer if you close a large area for a short period (like weekday nights for a month).

Yes, it's inflation adjusted. But it's the cost to ride, not the per customer cost to operate. It's missing the second graph, the subsides provided by the government.

They were 0 when it started. It's absolutely not anymore. The MTA says fares only make up 23% of their budget. So MTA wide, the cost per ride is $11.96.

That $1.75 at the start was more than the cost per ride (since they were private companies with some amount of profit). The $2.75 for today is a tiny fraction of the cost.

No, they are saying it was $1.75 for everything, now it's $8.25 and you pay a third ($2.75).

But also sounds like he is the one doing citizenship scams that the GOP keeps talking about.

Weak, I can do...10 seconds (I just timed it), now my ears feel tired.

S/mime works better honestly..we use that where I work. But it's hard getting people to set it up, and certs are a little more difficult to generate.q

Nah, it's mostly encrypted now. The issue is the way the encryption works they can't use the key the server sent it with in the client. The receiving sercyer has to have key.

If you want end to end encryption you need to use PGP or s/mime

It doesn't really leave any emergency access. The parking between traffic and bike lane intentionally blocks all vehicles, no cops illegally parked, no delivery trucks, no crashing vehicles.

That said, emergency vehicles can just take a traffic lane so it's not really an issue.

Yea, check country of origin on that stuff.

Places like Patel Brothers actually package a lot of their own stuff, so a surprising amount is from the US, but not all. I think most of the lead is really from specific countries with low amounts of regulation. Unfortunately, it means for the exotic spices, very often you're stuck getting it from a source that might not have many regulations in it's supply chain.

Yup, and I strongly believe they are interpreting it wrong.

If you build a house on a flood plain that regularly sees floods of 5ft and your house gets flooded from a storm that's your own problem, that's basically what the state law is. It's not the states problem you ensure your house doesn't flood.

However if you build your house on that flood plain 6 feet into the air so that regular floods don't cause property damage you might think you're fine. But what happens when the city builds a levy and traps your inside to protect your neighbor? Now regular floods at your house at 10 feet because the state changed the drainage resulting in higher flood waters for you.

That's really the crux of the issue. The state isn't responsible for making sure your house doesn't flood, but they should be responsible to allowing projects to go through that cause floods to be much more severe to the point that it overpowers the flood protections you have that would have been sufficient had the state not screwed it up.
